At least 10 people were killed in Ukrainian attacks on Russia and Moscow-occupied territory, local officials said Friday, as Ukraine reported five killed in Russian attacks.
The exchange of deadly strikes comes a day after Russia unleashed an overnight pummelling — one of the worst of the conflict — on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, leaving at least 30 dead.
On Friday, a Ukrainian strike on a market in the Russian-occupied part of the southern Zaporizhzhia region killed five people, the Kremlin-appointed governor said.
“This is a strike against civilian life — against people who had come to buy groceries,” Yevgeny Balitsky said on Telegram.
